Sam’s Italian Villa, Council Bluffs, IA

I was looking for dinner this evening, and Sam’s came up on Google Maps. But… it said that Sam’s was closed this evening. But I drove by the place, the OPEN sign was on, so I tried it. Pretty good.

I got a NY strip, medium, with spaghetti and hash browns. The steak was very good. There was one place on the edge that was a bit on the tough side. It had decent flavor, was tender, and was cooked medium just like I asked. The hash browns were great, just the right combination of crunchy and good potato. The spaghetti was excellent; the marinara was moderately thick and had great flavor (I’ve said before, I like the combination of steak and spaghetti and tomato sauce).

Service was prompt and very friendly. The tea was very good, and kept refilled. My check was $23.47. I wouldn’t mind eating at Sam’s again.
